Released May 9, 2026 on Mahorka as free digital download and in beautiful limited cassette edition.

This new tape release on Mahorka brings together ambient artists Toni Dimitrov and Blanket Swimming, both with longstanding history with the label, in a restrained yet deeply textured collaboration. Moving through drifting drones, fragile harmonics, and slow-evolving soundscapes, the album explores states of suspension, intimacy, and quiet transformation. Field recordings and arrangements by Dimitrov intertwine with ambient passages by Blanket Swimming, forming a dialogue that is at once spacious and finely detailed. Each piece unfolds with deliberate patience, emphasizing tone, space, and subtle interaction, where presence is felt as much in what recedes as in what emerges.

There is a tactile sensibility running through the release, shaped by the constraints and warmth of the cassette format itself - subtle saturation, soft edges, and a sense of proximity that foregrounds listening as a physical act. Rather than building toward climactic resolution, the compositions sustain a delicate equilibrium, inviting immersion and attentive drift. The cover features photographs of textures from Dimitrov’s Microlandscape series, extending the album’s focus on surface, detail, and the quiet complexity of minimal forms.
